This year’s annual Theatre for Young Audiences play is the Tony-nominated musical, A Year with Frog and Toad, which follows two friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the grumpy Toad, through four seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.

The performance, at the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre, will run:
• Saturday, Jan. 15, at 2:30 p.m.
• Saturday, Jan. 22, and Sunday, Jan. 23, at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets cost $11 and can be purchased by contacting the box office at 8-7504 or online.

6. Applications for Dorothy Day Social Justice Community available

Applications for the Office of Residence Life’s Dorothy Day Social Justice Community are available. The program provides an opportunity for 44 sophomore students to live together in Straz Tower and participate in a yearlong social justice-focused living/learning experience.

Students will enroll in discrete sections of Philosophy of Human Nature in the fall semester and Christian Discipleship in the spring semester. Each course meets the university’s core requirement and each will incorporate a shared service-learning component. The curricular and service components are enhanced by out-of-classroom experiences that bring students together in reflection on classroom concepts, their service and other experiences that help shed light on the meaning of justice in their lives.

Applications are due Feb. 25, 2011.
